immense crowd, prevented those within from hearing the corn. mencement of Sir Thomas's address. Hehopetithe county would do its duty. He complained of the calumny on the magistrates, the treasurer, Bco. &c. of the county, and of the pertinacity of Mr. Hunt in adhering to the charges against these respectable persons. After the statement that had been made to them respect►ng that individual, could the county—would the county—pay attetition to him for one moment ?--(Uproars, so loud and long; that not one word more of what was said by Sir Thomas Lethbridge was heard in the Court.) Mr. OLivita Have(Alto, in the absence of Mr. Cresswell (who did notlittend, in consequence, as we understood, of the necessity of his appearance at the Taunton election), proposed Mr. Hunt.— (Loud cheers and hisses, which continued- for some minutes. )-- 7 He stated that he was proud to have to propose a man so qualified as Mr. Hunt to , represent them; a man who bad rendered great services to his country while he was confined in Debater gaol, and still further services since that time, by bringing to light gross mis-statements in the accounts of the county rates--(()rest uproar-- Loud cheers from Mr. Hunts friends, and disapprobation from the other party.)—Mr. Hayward then concluded by expressing his confulince ofsuccess. Mr. TnoltAs PLIMATT, a farmer, stood forward to second the nomination, and stated that he gave his honest support to Mi. Hunt, whom he designated as an Englishman, a gentleman, and a patriot. . Mr. linter rose amidst cheers and hisses, and stood for some 1 rinse before the uproar Wielded, He began by stating, that if it had not been for the vulgar abuse which he had received at the hands of his opponents, he should have contented himself with a very short address to the electors. Having a great number of voters in llchester prepared to poll for him, he was snore disposed for action thin for any thing else; .but he was obliged once more to deal in words, the only weapon for whiels Isis contemptible op ponents were distinguished.—(Loml laughter, and cheers and hisses. ).--He had been accessed, of submitting to be horsewhipped by Mr. Dowling, and of 'several other things, Now what did Mr. Dickinaon mean by stating these matters ? Did be mean to say that any one of those paragraphs contained foetid— (NO answer.) —They were nothing inure ssor less than the edi torial fibs of the day.--(Laughter.) - es . With regard to Mr. Dow ling, it was true that he (Mr. Hunt) had been struck by bins at Covent-garden hustings ; but it was as true that he was sur rounded and prevented by constables from retaliating upon the spot. He however bad ,an opportunity afterwards, and he availed himself of it, and was indicted for the notice he took of the violence at the Middlesex Sessions, and fined 5/. fur the retort manual.--(Laughter.)—AS for Mr. Morley, it was true that that person had challenged him (Mr. Hunt) in his own house, half an hour before he (Mr. Hunt) was to attend et Spafields meeting ; and as no doubt was entertained that it was a " plant," the invitation was declined, particularly as Mr. Mor ley happened to be one of tholee little gentlemen who might be easily thrust up the chimney.—(Laughter, and cheers, and hisses.)—Now, Mr. Dickinson and Sir T. Lethbridge, and Mr. Stuckey, who had alluded to the white feather, well knew the fact that he (Mr. Hunt) was bound over in heavy penalties, to the amount of '2,0001., to keep the peace for five years, after he quitted Itcheeter gaol. They knew this well; for they were Ma gistrates in the county when he wee so bound over. Had it nor been for this knowledge, they would not have dared to utter the insolent and vulgar abuse which they had directed against him on the present occasion. There were, however, means of obviating the difficulties which presented themselves in this coun try, and if the)' would, anyone of them, give him the opportu nity, lie would very willingly put to the test the question which of the four wore the white feather.--((;beers, and hisses, and leughter.)—.Mr. Hunt then alluded to the county rates.: He concluded by declaring, that he had made his statement so clear, that the meerest school-boy could not misunderstand it, and none but these whose interest induced them to endeavour to drown his voice by clamour, could for one moment attempt to deny it. Sir T. LEVI limo v. asserted that the charges against the Trea surer And the Magistrates were most grossly false. gTATE/I ENT ALLUDED TO ET MR. SIESSITER. . . . . "Men Of Somerset—ln the very general canvass which I have m a d e throughout our beautiful county, my most sanguine hopes have been more than realised; I have met with the most gratify ing promises of support from the thole people, and from a very large majority of the freeholders of the county. In many instan cs I have received the voluntary promises of the whole of the votes of the pantiles which I have canvassed, with the exception of the magistrate, the parson, the attorney, and their clerks : iii fact, I have, throughout the county, been received and treated more like a brother than as a candidate for your favoere. I have endeavoured, and will still endeavour to see, in , person, every freeholder, stither collectively, or itidividaslly, op to the day of pilling at Ileheeter, which • takes place cam Monday, the 19th instant, when I flatkeT myself that the freeholders of the county will prove to. the world that they are determined to be free, and ithat they will exercise their right of voting for the man of their choice, unwed by lawless power, uninfluenced either by intole rance or corruption. Gentlemen, you have only to 'strike the iron while it is hot,' to promote the universal feeling which now prevaile throughout your county in favour of truth and jus tice, end your cause end mine will soon prove triumphant ! " In the first address which I published, I stated some circum stances relative to the collection Vol expenditure of the 'mousy drawn from your pockets in the shape of county rates, wherein it appeared that large sums were collected, mote than the treasurer and the magistrates, accounted for. Since that time a contradic tory statement has hien ptibliehed, and universally circulated, by Mr. Uriah Masher, tht treasurer of the county, and he has put forth a statement of the turns collected in the yeats 1814, 15', 16, I't, and 18, making it appear that, instead of his having collected large some inure than were expended, that be actually advanced to the county, in that period,. 5831. 19s. Sid. Now, gentlemen, I have no hesitation in declaring that Mr. Messiter's statemont is most scandalously and glaringly false, and which statement he and the magistrates of the county knew to be false when they Published it to the world. When Iliret read this contra diction to my statement, I own I thought it possible that I might have been misinformed, although the statement I made wee taken from the papers laid before the Commissioners of llchester Hatitile Inquiry, and subsequently were laid by are before a Committee of the House of Comuumam William Dickinson , Esq., in the chair, without its correctness ever Wing been disputed or contradicted. But now, my friends, I have ascertained from the war rants issued under the hand of the treasurer himself, that Waiter's statement is gratify and wilfully false. Only attend to the follow ing facts :--Meseiter states, that ht the year 1817 the sums col lected only amounted to 16,086/.'; now, by the warrants issued by the treasurer himself, the stuns collected in that year are as follows —for time first quarter' 4,000/. ; for the wood quarter. 6,5001. ; for the tided quartet ; for the fourth quarter 6,0001. Time you will see by his own warrants that in the first Oree quarters alone he collected 16,542/., just 4461. more than h e otates he collected in the whole year. What think you of this, rues cf Somerset ? fly the treasurer's own warrants, it appears, he e t at et red in the year 1817, 6,4461. snore out of your pockets t h an h e 5i 44,41 he did , ' in this barefaced unblushing publication. men of Somerset i' I ask again when these What *ay yea! to th is, answer again—never! till the ;armies are to be mPtifled?'

Mr. B.'s brief address was received with the loudest plaudits by the immense number of persons who literally. tilled the street all the way from the Nunsgate to the end of the High Bridge. Mr. B. was drawn in his carriage, by men who at tached ropes to it, through the town amid such a concourse of people, and such a feeling of enthusiasm on every side, as must have been most gratifying to Mr. Beamone, and must indeed have made any man proud. The cheers, the waving of handkerchiefs and flags from the windows as he passed, presented a scene truly heart-stirring. On passing Mr. Bell's Committee-room at the George Inn, the blue flag saluted the white, and the gentlemen of Mr. Bell's Com mitter appeared at the windows, and loudly cheeredllr.Beaurnont. and his friends. The same courtesy was extended by the Hon. Mr. Liddell's Committee as the procession passed the Queen's Head Inn. Mr. Beaumont's cortege was very imposing. It WSJ headed by a noble white flag, bearing " Beaumont and Inde pendence." Then followed the fine band of musicians, playing some of their liveliest tunes : then came the carriages, about eight in number, many of them drawn by four horses, the whole pro timely ornamented with dashing white cockades. Lord Howick was out here, but his baud paraded up and down the streets. The lion. H. T. Liddell was at Eslington, but his brother, the Hon. T. Liddell, anti his uncle, the Rev. G. H. Liddell, of Boldon, passed through this town about half past twelve o'clock, on their way to Alnwick, accompanied by the cheers of a considerable crowd auembled at the Queen's Head on their departure. • Mr. Beaumont's visit at Hexham, on Friday last, produced an enthusiasm, such as is seldom witnessed. Shortly after his arrival he addressed the immense crowd assembled, from the Black Bull Inn, to the following effect :--- "Gentlemen,---I return you my sincere thanks for the kind and enthusiastic manner in which ,I have been greeted upon my entrance into the town of Hexham. The enthusiasm manifested upon this occasion has been, I am convinced, ealled,forth by the attempt which has recently been made to crush your late repre sentative.--(Several cries of "it has, it has.")—On that occasion the manoeuvre resorted to, viz.: that of gaining their object by assailing my private character, has tended to advance me in the estimation of every roan who has a heart in his bosom; of which I have a proof in the votes which have this day been given to me. have also an evidence of it in the appro bation of the fair sex.—(Loud cheers and waving of handker chiefs.)—This approbation, I am convinced, no one will receive whose conduct is not above reproach, and the conduct of no one in private life stands higher, I hope, than that of your late repre 'sentative. Before concluding, I shall say a few words upon the late member for Durham, who came into this county to attack my private character. We must take the will for the deed ; his will was to injure me,—(Cries of " it was,")—but he has by his con duct in reality served my cause. I shall here contrast his beha viour with that of a nobleman of high rank in this county, who is as much raised above Mr. Lumbton, in wealth and dignity, as in nob eness of mind-1 mean the Duke of Northumberland, who, at the late contest, and on the present occasion, has pursued a line of conduct which reflects the highest credit upon him ; he has kept within the limits that our laws and usages prescribe to a peer of the realm ; and I can asure you, that to my certain knowledge, he has not influenced a single vote.—(Cheers. )—How unlike the member for Durham, who, to gain , his point,. cares 'not whose feelings he wounds. I care not what May say of me, for I am satisfied that the honest men who are around the feel indignant that a foreigner should come to disturb the peace pf the county.— (Cheers.)—Nature will do all she can—drowning men will patch at straws; so it has been with my enemies; when ,they found they could nut gain their ends by fair and honourable means, they had recourse to weak supports, and hesitated not to mix up pri vate affairs with public occasions. On Tuesday last we triumphed, and 1 feel confident on Tuesday. next We shall triumph (Loud cheers . ).--. We must nut, howevar, relax in unr effoi te, ana I &lon. you to nee all your inflni.nee to ineteuee the blAtTUnktra un my behalf. I now take leave of you, and 1 k'olie you wilt meet me on Tuesday, at Alnwiek, to secure my return, and when I again have the pleasure of being amongst you, the cry will he, Beaumont and Victory !" Anti, certainly, judging from present appearances, every thing does indicate victory to the independent Candidate.—Neweastle-upon-Tyni, June 19. TAUNTON. On the first day of the election it was declared that there was no coalition between Mr. Seymour and General Peachy, because One of the parties, Mr. Seymour, is known to be a moderate Whig, and to be friendly to liberal principles. As such, he and his present opponent, Mre Cresswell, exerted their interest toge ther in favour of Mr. Bennett, who is a Whig, against the Tory candidate, at the last Wiltshire electiuu. .General Peachey, on the Contrary is what is called a Chtinih-and-King candidate, and grounds his claims to support on his deterinination not to cede any thing to the Catholic*. When, therefore, they publicly declared that there was no coalition between them, the electors and Mr. Creswell gave them credit. On the first day's polling, however, it was found whilst all Mr. Cresswell's voters were plumper., their Votes were all split, and all but one split in favour of Peachey end Seymour. This plan, however, has been frustrated by the unex pected appearance of a fourth candidate in Mr. Cresewell's bro— ther on Thursday Wiling ; and on Friday morning two other candidates were put in nomination, viz Francis Baring, Esq. son of Alexander Baring, Esq. and Mr. Mildmay. The Rev. Henry Creswell then insisted, in the name of his brother, upon the re- Commenconent of the polling. This, however; was not acceded to, and after putting in his protest against the closing the poll, he retired, at the suggestion of Mr. Lewes, Counsel for his brother, to the White Hart. Subsequently Mr. Henry Creswell and Mr. Edmund Cressy/ell addressed a numerous assemblage of the electors and people from the window, and declared their conviction that the present plan, which had been adopted by the assessor, would ois Monday bring Mr. Creiswell at the head of the poll, and that ultimately the oust of independence iu the borough of TIM -ton would triumph. This morning (Monday), Mr. MANarnia and Mr. WILLIAMS addressed the assessor, and claimed to have the plan altered, as tutheyourable to the interests of their clients. Mr. LA w replied, and declared that there was not the slightest legal ground for declaring that all the candidates were not real, and that having been put in nomination by the electors, no one had a right to presume that they would not, if elected, go to Per. liatnent as the representatives of the people. They knew well that if the tootle of voting which the aSleiiiOr had adopted was perse vered in, one yellow chair would not suffice, for the independent electors would return two men. The Assessor determined, that although he had advised the course si hickhad been adopted on Saturday, he could not insist upon it, since any voter who presented himself to poll must be received. Mr. Lewes must, therefore, if he pleased, withdraw, for he could not refuse voters. • ' Mr. LAWIti. protested against any alteration in the mode of voting. , Mr. Hyrax CRE6KWELL then rose and said, that he appeared thee for his brother, whose state of lieallth would not allow him to sit in so ponfined a place as the hustings, and who ' on account Of this circumstance, as well as the extraordinary mode of pro ceeding adopted during the election, had resolved not to appear itgaip on the hustings in person. He had given him his proxy, hOwever, and he, on his part, would accede to the advice of Mr. Lawes, provided two electors would come forward and Vote for Mr. Baring and Mr. Mildmay. The poll would then be closed, and the business settled by a petition to the House of Commas. Mr. lifittatutem, ,an elector, then rose and said, he protested against the poll being rluswl. . A number of certificates were then put in, and it was finally agreed to take a vote on each side. Mr. LAWYS said he would not suffer any alteration to be made in the mode of polling adopted on Saturday. Mr. tistuttv CRVISWW, asked if , the assessor would allow vote for Mr. Baring and rife. Mildmay..—(Much confturion.) Twervoters were presented, and taken for Mr.' Creswell and AZ. Baring, and for Mr. Creaweli sad Mr. Mildmay, and the votes wove prticeeding as they offiaed themselves. Mr. Writs asked if the assessor had canned his protest to be entered on :the book against any alteration in the mods of polling.:Mr. Oat sswe.ti said, that in all probability Mr. Baring and Mr. Mildmay would, :if th e p o ll lu i lu y dosed t di t itel :bm ecoe , the efficient members, was A large number of hands Were held up, and Mr. Calcsswitt.y. said, that if the 'opposing party had not knoten that they could not beat their adversaries by' fair meals, they would not have resorted to any others. He would go on with the poll. Mr. LAwn skid that he had SWF Mr. H. Crewel only yea terday, and that they had agreed upon the course to he adopted in the event which had taken place. The voters -then came up, one of the buff side and one of the blue; and there can be no doubt if there ball'heen no advantage as to polling given to the blues by the coalition in the onset, Mr. Cresswell would have been at the Lead, or, at all events, the middle of the poll, from the first. Mr. Cresswell is not in Taunton; but has left his cause to the management of his eldest son, - a fine spi rited young man, his broth er, and M r. L ewes, h is Counsel. if, he should fail, .it will be: the result of Sir, T. Lethbridge's having number of votes under his controul, who may make up a majority; but the independent party entertain great hopes of success. The following protest has been just read by the poll-clerk, .Mr. Beadou " We, the undersigned electors of the borough of Taunton, do protest against the conduct of the Assessor and returning' officers, iu altering the manner of polling laid 'doivii by thesaid Assessor on Friday last, being calculated only to give an undue advantage to the two blue candidates, General Pete* and Mr. Seymour. (Signed) " JAMES MELIIVISH. (Signed) " WILLIAM FOX." The bribery oath is administered to every Voter. A voter has just now been rejected, who swears that lie received is. on General Peiiehey'r canvas, to pass an examination -.at church, in order to be qualified to vote for General Peachey. The assessor asked if lie had not Ulcer) the bribery oath, and it being found that he had, his vote was rejected. Another voter, on being offered the book, said, " What-for ?" he was told, to take the bribery oath, and answered, "I cannot take that oath, for I have been bribed by General Peachey." COVENTRY, JUNE 14. The polling ceased this morning, leaving the numbers— Heatlicote - - - - 1595 Eyler - - 1522 El lice - - 124.2 Moore - Number of freemen polled, 2,763. - 1182 Before going to the booth, Mr. Ellice had positive information that it was the intention of his opponents to be more violently outrageous than they had hitherto been, in order to prevent any voters from coming to the poll within the hour, when by law .it must be closed. On entering the booth he found the information be bad received was most accurate; the Corporation mob was furiously parading round the booth with frightful vociferations, and there was every indication of its being the intention of , their party to carry the election by terror. Mr. Ellice addressed them, and assured them that if they would allow his friends to cone up to the poll, he thought it might be clostd in a few house. His address was in some measure successful, and for two hours the blues were allowed to poll without inolestation. When the majo rity on the day's' poll amounted to about 90, the friends of the Corporation re-commenced their violence, by ripping up the clothes of the blues. Mr. Ellice finding it impossible to protect thepersons of his voters, requeited them to keep back, and he anti his professional advisers retired from the contest. At the expira tion of an hour the books were closed, and the Sheriffs will, no doubt, return Fyler and Heathcote duly elected. Against this return Mr. Ellice has pledged himself to petition the House, and whether he will succeed in nullifying the election or not, yet there is but one opinion upon the subject in Coventry, and that is, that if free access to the booth had been allowed the blues at the com mencement of the contest, Moore and Ellice would certainly have been at the head of the poll. Thus has terminated for the present a contest that cannot be regarded without sorrow. Two candidates are at the head of the poll who are perfect strangers to the freemen. And then, two persons ire preferred to a gentleman who ranks with the first of British merchant., who is allied to the most able and patriotic of the British nobility, and, who has gained a respectable reputation in the Commons House of Parliament. But Mr. Ellice may be assured of this—that the electors of Coventry art the only body of Englishmen who do not hold him in the highest estimation, and .if be cannot be considered as altogether without fault, it can only :be ascribed to the too great deference he has paid to , the ignorant desires of his late constituents. There is one great good that may possibly arise out of this,eoutes4. Mr. Peel has hitherto per formed the duties of his office with a reforming band, and it is not probable that for two votes in Parliament he would spare the znagistracy of the city of Coventry. NOTTINGHAM, .luxe 19.

Smith Wright wilt be obliged to Mr. Watson to inform any person that may riquire information as to his withdrawing from the contest, that he has sent to Lord Ranch& and Mr. Birch that he had withdrawn, and that he cannot, as a man of honour, directly or indirectly, in any way come forward again in the elec tion, which he conceiree is now ended. • Nottingham, hue le, , tem" An application Was now made to Mr. Hopkinson, who had heretofore been the legal agent'tif Mr. Wright, and hi declared that he should be at his post On Monday;' and continue the poll on' behalf of certain burgesses, who still entertained an idea of pro longing the muted; and in the afternoon a number of bills were ported up• and distributed about the town, declaring this to be the purpose of the blue faction. Such' conduct naturally led to great 'excitation. The Corn mittee of Lord %miff% and Mr.*Birch were immediately sum moned, and the most active steps are adopted for continuing the contest. A number of votes were got up this morning, and polled, after a considerable discussion. The numbers at one o'clock were : Birch - - - 2086 Rand* - - - 2009 Wright - - 1830 COUNTY OP LINCOLN. This time the election for the county Members has been di* inguished as much for the good feeling, as on the former oceasiol was remarkable for en angry spirit.

The Mayor and different candidates having taken their places on the hustings, Mr. Coaay.rr addressed his Worahip.—l cannot, Sir, permit the polling to he resumed this morning without once more so lemnly protesting against the mode of proceeding which you are now pursuing. You have erected these fortifications which I now see around me, for no other purpose than to prevent the honest electors of Preston from exercising the rights which be long to them. I repeat that you have erected these bars and con-. trivances—you caused them to be put up two days before the election.—(Great confusion.) The Ma:roe—No, Sir; I did not. _ Mr. ConesTr—You did., You ordered these burs to be raised, The MAYOR.--That is not true. Mr. Comairm—You ordered them to be raised. The MAYOR—No interruption, Sir. Several voices—Dou't interrupt. The MAYOR—You like to he beard yourself, but you will not let any body else be heard ; that is your way. I beg, Sir, to hear no more of these imputations.—(Hisses from the crowd.) Mr. Consitrr— r •What ! you. deny all knowledge of these bars? The MAYOR--Silence, Sir—be off. Answer me, Foster, have you seen any thing partial in my conduct on these hustings? Mr. FOSTER--I don't like answering that question, Mr. Mayor. Mr.. Converr—Ha, ha !—tell him, Foster, if you like these 1).. Vomn—l have , witnessed decisions, Sir, that I do no Like..—(Great cheers from the crowd.)

Mr. CoaatrT—Three fortifications—look at thew—they art awful fortifications. • ' The M.tvom—go on with the polling. If any man interrupts the polling, let him take the consequences., Mr. Cobbett then retired, and the polling proceeded. Several of the electors, whose appearance did not warrant suck a designation, gave in their certificates the word "Gentleman," as their description. This wile at first objected to is some in `stances, but it was permitted to be adopted in the beginning.— However, the instances of such an assumption having multiplied, it was resolved by the agents to require a more defined descrip tion. The first or second elector who came from Mr. Wood's tally box having designated himself as a gentleman on his eartitfcate, the agent of Capt. Barrie examined him. What are you, Sir?—A gentleman. How long are you a gentleman ?—As long as you are. Pray how long is•that ?—I am as much a gentleman as you were the other night, when you came with your men to insult us before Mr. Wood's window. • Have you not been a journeyman bricklayer ?—Prove it if I. be. Well don not your wife sell vegetables?---Yes, she does. Has she not a stall in the market of Preston?—Ye, she has. ELYCTOR—She don not coins up to poll. Aa!mr—We, know that, but her husband does. The nen,* directed that the man should be set aside, in order to amend the description in the. certificate by. the substitution of some more definite expression. The next elector having been asked, at •the proper time, for `whom he would vote,—replied, " For Mr. Cobbett, a plumper, and d—n all tyranny !" clenching his fist, and raising it, in & de fying manner, to the Mayor.and the other candidates.

Mr. Arronmtv-Grxittah HILL appeared on the hustings this morning, es Counsel for the independent party. About twelve o'clock a flay of distress was hung out on the Grosvenor side, on the appearance of Mr. John Walker in their box, it being well known that he would avoid coming to the poll at all if he could be dispensed with, and that when h►► did come the party would be gasping for breath. lie bore with apparent good humour the honours which were heaped upon him, from one side of the hust ings particularly, and answered only by repeated bows. His young man, Henry Spencer, who remained firm and unshaken amidst all the endeavours to shake his constancy during this con test, also voted this forenoon, haying returned from Liverpool, whither he was, dispatched on his master's business early this morning! The conduct of this uoble-minded young man is a fair specimen of the incorruptible virtue of the Freemen of Chester iu 1826. ARRIVAL OF GENERAL GRUSVIINOR-DRIAI3IIII.
